If you enjoy playing videogames then you should know this is one of the greats.
It's a sort of Hotline Miami but with a teleport mechanism, and puzzles.
The story isn't that great but the action is very satisfying.
I already said it's one of the greats, so you either believe me or don't.

This is a damn fun beat 'em up.
I wasn't too sure at first because it starts off a bit slow but later on there's so many bad guys to beat and each level offers up new hazards to deal with so it becomes more like a puzzle where you have to think on your feet to survive.
Punching dudes the fuck out and using the enemies own weapons against them is so fun and satisfying to do.
I'm not a huge fan of the art style, i think it would have been much cooler with pixel art like in Hotline Miami but this is still a fine game.
Also the last level is a gauntlet of hair pulling nonsense so be ready for that.
A hidden gem for sure, grab it in the next sale.

I originally played this at a local kind of internet cafe I would frequent, anyways I really liked it and then promptly forgot about it. It's been 3 years since I last was at that internet cafe, the place is now closed, and a few months ago I was trying to go to sleep when I remembered this game.
I immediately started trying to figure out what it was called because I had forgotten it, either way found it and have been enjoying it, not too far in but still loving it.

basically like pg-13 hotline miami where you can teleport, it's a fun time! it's a unique spin on the twin stick shooter genre with a fairly corny spy thriller plot but the good kind of corny. combat feels tight and satisfying, it's really fun just being able to teleport around and clear a whole room with punches. although i can't recommend it at full price considering how short it is (can easily be beaten in under two hours if you're good at these type of games), if it's on sale under $10 totally worth grabbing.

Mr. Shifty is an amazing game.
The shifting mechanic promotes strategic gameplay instead of brute force.
The metal pole kills anything in one hit.

Rating:
Recommended at full price
Recommended at a discount
Recommended but only at a discount
Not Recommended
Duration: about 4 hours, maybe twice that if you go for 100& completion, which involves replaying levels without dying and doing speedruns
Best features:
+ The combat, simple but effective and each hit feels impactful, you feel very powerful but it manages to remain tense due to your character dying in one single hit.
+ The teleport ability, really spices up the encounters and allows you to do some very entertaining maneuvers.
+ The level design, really good attempt at making you use your teleport ability in a multitude of ways, very amusing shenanigans towards the finale with enemies and stuff teleporting all over the place
Feedback :
+/- No collectibles nor any sort of level progression nor ability/weapon unlocking, your character ends the game exactly as it started it, very little replayability outside of just replaying levels for fun or going for faster/no death runs (which could be said of any action game if you think about it).
+/- Maybe not as tactical as something like Hotline Miami, you can play tactically but you are encouraged to play aggressively due to the slow mo meter.
Overall thoughts:
Really fun game to spend an afternoon in, one of my favorites of the genre.
